Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments (2016–…): Season 3, Episode 6 - A Window into an Empty Room - full transcript

Previously on Shadowhunters...

Now it's time to meet my sire.

You can meet him when it's time.

Simon?

Hello?

"If anything will keep me safe,

"it's this picture,

All my love, George."

I'm looking for something that could...

make a person fall out of love.

You must add one last ingredient:



a tiny sliver of your soul.

To true love...

Now, nothing will come between us.

? My regrets ?

? Are a chain around my neck ?

? You know ?

? It's torturous ?

? House of burdens that I can't let go ?

What do you think?

Matte or glossy?

Glossy it is.

Nothing wrong with a little sparkle.

It is a special occasion...

? Oh, oh, oh, oh ?



? Oh baby, don't go ?

You sure you wanna do this?

We have no choice. The
mark on your head,

it activates whenever someone
tries to attack you, right?

As far as we know, yeah.

So then, it's only logical

if you evade the attack, you'd be fine.

Well, I'm not sure logic
really applies here.

Hey!

You're pretty quick.

I mean, I am a vampire. But
you're not bad yourself,

for like, a...

surfer werewolf.

You know, some of the best
athletes in the world

- are surfers.
- Not in New Jersey.

Well, I was born on the
Gold Coast, remember?

Is that in Australia?

You know, you haven't
really mentioned that.

You know, actually, um...

My girlfriend grew up near
the Jersey Shore too.

Oh, yeah? Yeah. Maia's actually gonna be

in town tomorrow. We should get lunch.

I mean, she's been dying to meet you.

We could go see a movie,
we could kind of...

Are you OK?

Yeah. All right, all right. We're done.

You think? Come on.

So... lunch.

There's this really great
diner that she likes...

Yeah. That sounds awesome, but I can't.

I've gotta catch a train
back to Long Island.

I owe the Praetor a progress report.

Oh, that's too bad.

I'll bring you back a doggie bag.

Hi, Simon.

Gah! Hey, you, uh...

I don't think we've met.

Are you one of Kyle's friends?

Simon... It's me.

Oh, my God...

Heidi.

I thought you were dead.

Yeah... not anymore.

Thanks to you, Sire.

How is that even possible?

We both got a little
carried away that night.

That douche Quinn might've killed me,

but I died with your blood on my lips.

Wait. So, wait. How...
How did you come back?

Raphael dug me up, but...

you're the one that gave me life, Simon.

And now we're bonded...

forever.

Huh...

OK. Look, Heidi, I...

I hope you understand,

I can barely manage my
own life right now,

so I'm... nowhere near capable

of being anyone's sire.

So, if Raphael dug you up,

maybe you should... you
should talk to him.

Are you kidding me?

You're acting like you have
nothing to do with this.

No, no. That's not what I'm saying.

Your blood runs through my veins!

You don't get to turn your back
on me like I'm some stranger!

Uh...

I know this is, um...

It's a lot to process.

But...

we belong together, Simon.

You'll see.

Mmm!

This is delicious.

I haven't been this enamoured

of French toast since...

Well, since Julia Child
made me petit dejeuner.

Good.

Maybe you should save the spatula I used

for your little box.

Ahem.

Alexander...

...if my mementos are
still an issue for you,

perhaps we should talk about it.

No. It's my issue.

I just got so swept up that I...

I never stopped to think
about the future.

We fell in love.

There was nothing else to think about.

I can't stomach

the idea that one day,

I'm gonna be old

and feeble, and becoming this...

burden to you.

Look, there's no universe

where you would ever be a burden.

You say that now.

OK, maybe the reason

why you're having such a
hard time processing this

is because this is your
first relationship.

Right, because the whole
immortality thing,

that's no big deal. This is all

just because you're the only
guy I've ever been with.

No, no, no. All I'm saying is

every relationship is complicated.

Perhaps ours wouldn't seem so daunting

if you would have been with at
least one person before me.

Oh.

So... what, I should go sow my oats?

You're putting words in my
mouth, that's not what...

And you're twisting this into
something that it isn't.

I'm not a child, Magnus.

Then stop acting like one!

I lost my appetite.

So you just walked out?

Well, what else was I supposed to do?

- What's gonna happen now?
- I don't know!

Look, do you have any actual advice

or are you just going to interrogate me?

I wish I knew what to tell you, but...

I think the reason why I
find Downworlders appealing

is because those issues prevent things

from ever getting too serious.

Oh. Well, that's comforting.

But what you and Magnus have is...
is real.

If anyone can make it
work, it's you two.

I'm just here to see my children!

Is that Mom?

Show some respect!

This woman's been
excommunicated by the Clave.

She's not allowed to enter.

This woman is Alec Lightwood's mother.

- Allowances can be made.
- It's fine.

Hey! As long as I'm in charge,

Maryse Lightwood is allowed
in the New York Institute.

Understood?

I'm sorry, I should have called ahead.

No, it's... it's no problem.

Mom, did the...

The de-runing, did it hurt?

Not at all.

The adjustment's actually
been easier than I expected.

Have you found a place to live yet?

You can stay here if you'd like.

We could make that happen.

I meant what I said.
You're always welcome.

Thank you, but I've
actually found a place.

All I want right now

is to spend some time with
my wonderful children.

Speaking of which... where is Jace?

I've been through all
the Institute archives,

and there's no record of a greater demon

that matches this one. I
don't know what else to do.

[Ithuriel said the Owl has a master.]

This has to be who it is, and...

it is powerful enough to kill an angel.

I have to let everyone know.

You do that, and it unravels everything

about Raziel and the wish.

I don't care if the Clave
locks me up, Luke.

[Well, I do.]

And what about Jace?

He carried that same lie.

He'll be in trouble just like you.

And the last thing he needs

is for his treatment to be interrupted.

I have another job for you.

Whatever you need, my Queen.

The blood sacrifice is almost complete.

There are 32 disciples.

One more and Jonathan will be ready.

Now, go find me

my last virtuous mundane.

I will.

Rise.

I know you're in there...

...Jace Herondale.

I know you're suffering.

When I'm done using you,

you will return

to find your friends dead

and your world on fire,

burning at the hands of the son

you so callously took from me.

And when you scream

and beg for death...

I will smile.

Now, kiss me.

You will need your energy.

Why did Raphael dig her up?

A member of his clan murdered
her, so I guess he was

trying to give her her life back.

Little did he know she'd become
my own personal stalker.

Do they make Downworld
restraining orders?

What?

Simon... when you were first turned,

you had a built-in support system.

By the way this girl's reacting,

it doesn't sound like she has anybody.

It's hard when the person
that made you abandons you.

Trust me, I know.

You're right...

I can't just walk away from this.

Who are you texting?

Raphael.

He's part of this mess.
The least he could do

is give me some sire tips.

Your father says Max
is doing much better.

That makes me so happy.

Yeah.

Uh oh. Who are you talking to?

Nobody.

Mom, we need to talk.

About your new beau?

About you.

Your excommunication.

I told you, Isabelle. I'm OK.

Why don't I believe you?

Mama, we said no more secrets.

Remember?

You don't have to hide how you feel.

I feel so lost.

Like I don't know who I am anymore.

Look at me...

It's like they were never even there.

You're still you.

Still strong,

and brave and beautiful.

But no longer a Shadowhunter.

I don't know what I'm
supposed to do now.

You're not alone.

You have four kids

that love you more than anything.

In fact... Alec and I were talking.

We want to take you out tonight.

I don't think that's a good idea.

You said yourself you wanted
to spend more time with us,

so let's go out.

As a family.

All right.

I'll go.

If I get to meet him.

It's only been one date.

It's not even serious.

I know my daughter.

Anyone who makes you smile like that...

...must be someone special.

Bring him tonight.

So this Owl is just a puppet,

possessing mundanes on behalf
of some super scary demon?

Something like that.

All of the Owl's targets

vanished without a trace after
killing their loved ones.

If we can find even one of them,

they might lead us to the Owl.

Hey, Sam. You got my message?

Yeah, I know. I'm sorry.

OK. Sam, wait.

Is she all right?

Let's just say she's not a happy camper.

Yeah. I get it.

Just make sure that she knows

that she's the most important
thing in your life.

Hey. What are you doing here?

I thought you were at the Silent City.

Yeah, I was.

I completed my treatment.

- Already?
- It's crazy, right?

The Silent Brothers work fast,

but I'm good. Great.

I was just on my way to the Institute

to tell you all the good news.

Yeah.

What are you doing here?

Oh, um...

- Taking a walk.
- "Taking a walk"?

Since when do you take walks?

Just... clearing my head.

Right.

Hey, look. Forget about me.

I'm glad you're feeling better.

- Yeah.
- My Mom's back.

She'll be happy to see you.

Oh, great!

You look better.

I'm finally back to myself.

Whatever the Silent Brothers
did, it was a success.

So you're finally cleared for duty?

Yes, I am.

Jace! It worked?

It's so good to have you back.

It's good to be back.

A lot happened while you were gone.

We need to talk, but not here.

We can talk later.

I want to get caught
up in the Ops Center.

Jace?

Yeah?

Are you sure you're OK?

I'm great. We'll talk later, OK?

_

Raphael? Are you in there?

? Got a drop in my throat ?

? Chill in my lungs ?

Raphael?

? See a light and a flare ?

? Nobody's there ?

? They don't hear a sound ?

Simon...

About last night...

I realize that wasn't the
way to handle things,

and I'd... really like
to make it up to you.

Come, sit.

I heard your music online
and it's really good.

You're really talented.

Here, have a drink.

Where is Raphael? He texted me...

Uh... yeah.

Sorry... I catfished you,

but I had a feeling
that you wouldn't come

if you knew it was me, so...

So where is Raphael?

Ugh. Who cares?

I mean, he did bring you
back from the dead.

Yeah, to see if I'd be
a Daylighter like you.

What?

He locked me in a laundry
room and then drugged me,

and then burnt me with a light

over and over to see
if I had your powers.

Newsflash: I... didn't.

But what kept me going

was the thought of you,

my sire.

You know, when we

were at the bleeder den
and you fed on me,

you were... so different.

The way that you hesitated,

I could tell that...

you didn't want to hurt me.

No one does that.

No one cares. No mundane,

no vampire, no...

Well, not even my own family.

Heidi, I'm... I'm so sorry

you had to go through all of that...

and... for my part in it,

I hope you'll forgive me.

There's nothing to forgive.

I love being a vampire. It's
like a dream come true.

Oh. Uh...

Well... cool.

If you ever need anything,

I'm here for you.

Oh! No! No, that's... that's...

See, that's not what I meant.

I have a girlfriend. It's... that's...

- Oh.
- Yeah.

Hmm.

Yeah, of course you do.

You know, a guy like you...

Yeah.

What's her name?

I actually have to go now.

But, um...

Like I said, if you need anything,

advice, I'm here. So just, um...

Just call me, OK?

OK.

It all happened so fast.

I wish I had gotten a better look at it.

I've seen a lot of
demons in my day, but...

never this.

The last thing I remember,

it touched its claw to my chest.

I still don't know why
it didn't kill me.

Powerful demons often leave an imprint,

traces of their unique energy.

If I can tap into the spot where
it made contact with you,

perhaps we can get a better sense

of what we're dealing with.

What is it?

This energy signature, it's...

the same as the one that
corrupted the ley lines.

It seems that we're
chasing the same demon.

Wha...

What are you doing?

I'm sending a message to an old contact.

He has access to information
far beyond my resources.

Hopefully, he's willing to help us...

identify the beast.

I should tell Jace.

Biscuit?

Is everything OK?

I tried to tell Jace about
all of this earlier,

but he was acting... strange.

Strange how?

Maybe I'm being paranoid,

but he didn't exactly
seem happy to see me.

I tried to hug him and
it just, it felt... odd.

Relationships...

They can be exasperating, can't they?

Yeah.

Sometimes, it's best...
just to be patient.

Jace has been through a lot.

He probably just needs some time.

Ah. We're in luck.

Brother Zachariah says
he's willing to meet.

Tonight.

OK. Great.

Thanks, Kyle. I appreciate it.

Kyle wants us to leave the apartment.

And find somewhere we can
lay low 'til he gets back.

No, I can't. You know
I have work tonight.

Can't you get your shift covered?

No.

And you can tell that Praetor of yours

I'm not going into hiding
just ?cause some vamp chick

can't take a hint.

You didn't...

You didn't see the look on her face.

When I was at her place, I...

I smelled fresh blood.

A lot of it.

You think she killed a mundane?

I don't know. But...

I was stupid enough to tell
her I have a girlfriend.

What if she comes after you?

Let her.

She'll be sorry she did.

The fact that you had the
courage to get help...

I am so proud of you.

I'm just glad I'm back to normal.

Yeah. How about we order some food?

That is a great idea. I'm starving.

I hope I'm not embarrassing you.

What are you talking about?

You're our mother. We stand by you.

Always.

Thank you.

If there is a silver
lining in all of this,

it's getting to be with
the three of you again.

So... what are you gonna do now?

I need to find a job.

I'm looking forward to it, actually.

Where's Magnus? I'm surprised
he's not here yet.

It is happy hour.

I left him a message.

I'm sure he'll be here soon.

And Isabelle, where's your friend?

What friend?

Friend? Wait, you have a new boyfriend?

Why am I the last one
to hear about this?

Oh, no. Alec, I haven't heard
about this one either.

OK. He's not my boyfriend.
We've only been on one date.

He's a doctor.

Well, what is he? Is he a werewolf?

A warlock?

He's a mundane.

Seriously?

Well, that's new.

I'm practically a mundane at this point.

You all have to promise

to behave yourselves.

- Us?
- What?

Oh, Isabelle. He is handsome.

Mom...

Can't wait to meet him.

So what kind of doctor are you?

Pediatric surgeon.

- You work with children.
- Yeah, well,

kids love to break their arms,
running at a coffee table.

And...

Not everybody heals as fast as Isabelle.

Yeah...

The magic of makeup.

Anyway, Isabelle has told me
about the family business.

What exactly did she tell you?

Is the jewelry thing a secret?

Oh... jewelry. She told
you we're jewelers?

We prefer to think of
ourselves as artists.

_

What is it?

Uh... nothing.

I just need a refill. Excuse me.

Can I get a refill? Make it a double.

Tough day at the office?

You could say that.

I don't usually...

Oh, hey, hey.

No judgement here.

I mean...

If anyone deserves a drink,

it's gotta be the head
of the Institute, right?

I can't even begin to imagine

the kind of stress that would bring.

Yeah.

So, uh...

Where's your better half?

Busy.

Oh.

That's too bad.

You know what? I'll just, uh...

I'll leave you to you and your drink.

You have a... you have a
good rest of your night, OK?

You too.

At ease, soldier.

Don't you want to say
hi to your friends?

Heidi caught me off guard twice.

I'm not letting that happen again.

Simon... I told you,

I can handle it.

I don't doubt that,

but I'm not leaving your side.

OK.

Well, you should try blinking
every once in a while.

You're starting to freak people out.

Thank you.

Who's up for some dessert?

- Oh, I am!
- Sure, yeah.

Maryse Lightwood at the Hunter's Moon.

Lucian...

We should get another round.

Obviously, you heard what happened.

I did.

I'm sorry.

Poetic justice, isn't it?

Considering how shamefully I acted

when you were excommunicated.

I didn't come here to rub it in.

Believe me, I know
firsthand how hard it is.

Reaching for your stele,

and realizing it's not there.

I know it's daunting,

but I promise,

it's not all bad.

And if you need help adjusting,

I'm around.

I appreciate that.

It is a new beginning.

A chance for me to be a better person.

There you go.

What?

Nothing. I just...

What?

I just haven't seen you
let your hair down,

literally, since the
Accords Ball in Idris.

That was 20 years ago.

Was that 20 years ago?

Yeah.

Well, you look just as
lovely now as you did then.

So... where is your friend?

He should be here.

Magnus...

Are you OK?

Yeah.

I've been so focused on my own problems

but... I can tell

something's going on.

Alec and I had a fight.

A bad one.

We both said some things
we didn't actually mean.

I'm sorry.

But there's nothing you
two can't work out.

I hope that's true.

Magnus Bane...

It has been too long.

Indeed, it has.

I'm sorry to call on you like this.

Clary...

this is Brother Zachariah.

You're a Silent Brother?

I know I appear unlike the others...

But that is a tale for another day.

These texts contain information

on long forgotten demon forms.

They may hold a clue to
your creature's identity.

You understand,

if the Brotherhood discovers
I helped you with this...

No one will know you were here today.

Thank you for your assistance.

Any friend of Will Herondale
is a friend of mine.

Herondale?

We both were close with Jace's ancestor.

I know I shouldn't ask this,

but... did you help
with Jace's treatment?

He's been...

acting differently since he got back.

We received his treatment request.

I would have been happy to oversee it.

"Would have been"? What do you mean?

Jace Herondale never
came to the Silent City.

Hey, stranger.

Hey.

You seem stressed.

Stressed? No. No. I'm fine.

- I'm totally relaxed.
- Wanna talk about it?

Not really. But how are you?

I heard about your mom.

Must be tough.

You know, I wish there was
something more useful

I can do... being a Shadowhunter...

...it meant everything to her.

When my mom was going through

her issues...

I felt powerless too.

But I realized that sometimes,

a parent just needs to know
that you're there for them.

And you are, 'cause you're
an awesome daughter.

What was that for?

For being you.

Hey...

You wanna play?

Oh, no. No, no, no.

No. I'm, um...

I'm good.

Are you good?

Yes. Yeah.

Well, there is a chance if
I try to get up from here

I will fall over.

Yeah. Apparently, I don't
have the tolerance

of a 800-year-old warlock.

Right.

And you know, this is your fault

because you told me I should
drink as much as I want.

Well, that's funny 'cause that's
not exactly how I remember it.

Do you... need help back to your table?

No. No, no, no.

My mother cannot see me like this.

And Jace and Izzy,

they will never let me
hear the end of it.

Right.

I got an idea.

How about I help you through the back?

I'll hail you a cab.

And then when I come back in,

I'll just tell your family
that you got called in

on Institute business.

You'd do that?

Sure.

Thank you.

Your secret's safe with me.

Restroom's that way.

You don't deserve him.

Excuse me?

You... don't... deserve... him.

"Him" who?

- Get away from me!
- Stay down!

State your name and clan.

Isabelle.

Isabelle, wait!

- You know this vampire?
- Her name's Heidi.

I'm her sire.

It's a complicated story,

but she's not in her right mind.

Raphael tortured her.

He thought because she had my blood,

she might be a Daylighter too.

- So...
- Wait.

You're the one he experimented on?

Yes.

You knew about that?

I'm the one who made Raphael leave town.

So you understand.

I do...

but Simon, she went rogue.

Attacked a blood truck,
killed a mundane.

She even tried to kill me.

She needs to be turned in to the Clave.

And the Clave will do what? Execute her?

Toss her into the Gard forever?
She doesn't deserve that.

Look, everyone knows how hard it is

for fledglings to control their urges,

and she didn't have anyone
looking out for her.

But now she does.

So please, Isabelle?

I'll make sure she never
hurts anyone again.

Get her out of here.

Yeah.

Hey. How's it going?

I'm good. You?

Do you wanna step outside?

Maybe grab some fresh air?

No problem.

Isabelle?

Is that blood?

Oh, this?

You know, I tend to get nosebleeds.

It's... it's something that
kind of like, you know...

I'm not stupid. What's
going on with you?

Nothing. Really, I'm fine.

Come on. Let's get dessert.

There's usually cabs here.

Magnus and I had our first date here.

I asked him if he thought
we were too different

to be together.

We never really got around
to answering that question.

And now...

Now, it's come around
to bite me in the ass.

So that's why you got all tense

when I brought it up. I'm sorry.

- I didn't...
- Just...

Forget I said anything.

Look...

I may not know all the details,

but I think I can guess what you mean

when you talk about your "differences."

Magnus isn't a Shadowhunter.

He may not understand our ways.

Nephilim love once, fiercely.

Whatever you're feeling...

...it's OK.

Don't be so hard on yourself.

Right.

I gotta go.

Oh, here. Let me get that.

I got it.

Hang on. I'll be right back.

OK.

Sorry to pop up like this,

but you weren't answering your phone.

What's going on? I thought
you were headed home.

I am...

but I wanted to let you
know I found a lead.

Transit surveillance footage
of two of our Owl victims

coming up from the
subway at 125th Street.

125th...

So you think they're gathering
somewhere up in Harlem?

Could be. Well, it's a start at least.

Nice work.

We'll check it out first
thing in the morning.

It'll be safer to sniff
around during the daylight.

Now get out of here.

Go spend time with your lady.

You go back to yours.

Simon. What you did back there?

Choosing me...

you won't regret it.

I know that you don't love me.

But, um...

when you're ready,

we'll start a clan of our own.

I'm sorry.

What?

I'm sorry.

Simon... what's going on?

They're from the Praetor Lupus.

It's an organization
that helps Downworlders.

They're here to...

help rehabilitate you.

If you cooperate, you won't be harmed.

You son of a bitch.

Hey.

You did the right thing.

Well, why doesn't it feel like it?

If he wasn't in the City of Bones,

then where the hell was he?

I'm sure there's an explanation,

maybe even a good one.

We're supposed to be in this together!

You don't lie to someone you love.

Wait.

You said Jace

was acting cold towards you earlier?

Detached?

As if he didn't have any
feelings for you anymore?

I don't know... I guess.

Around the time that Jace

was preparing to go to the Silent City,

a woman came to see me.

She requested an elixir that would make

a person fall out of love.

There was something off about her.

I couldn't put my finger
on it right away, but...

what if she was simply...
masking her power?

What if she was the demon
that attacked you,

disguised in human form?

You really think that's possible?

To complete the potion, a sliver of soul

was required from the
object of affection.

And you wondered why that
demon only touched you,

instead of just... killing you.

But why? Why would this woman
give this elixir to Jace?

We need to find him.

Hey, kiddo.

Luke, you at Hunter's Moon?

Yeah.

Is Jace there?

Yeah. He just left a
couple of minutes ago.

Why? What's wrong?

A low of 51 degrees tonight

with scattered clouds,

warming up to a high of
69 degrees tomorrow,

low of 58.

AH!

No!

STOP!

I've got him.

Oh, my God...

Jace... it's you?

It was him... all along.
